Why Legal Software for Microsoft Word 2010?

LegalBar ROI and Cost Justification

Simplicity. Structure. Standards.

LegalBar enhances Word's functionality for many common legal specific tasks, including outline numbering, table of contents generation, pleading generation, template organization and legacy document clean up. This saves time and improves efficiency, capitalizing on the investment already made in Microsoft Office.

LegalBar provides simplicity for users (putting easy-to-use tools at their fingertips), structure for the document (always relying on Word styles and other best practices for stable documents), and standards for the firm (producing documents with a professional, polished and standard appearance).

 

At the same time, the blending of Word and LegalBar reduces your training costs. Why? LegalBar not only enhances Word, it builds on users' existing knowledge and understanding of Word. Staff skill level improves as they learn about Word by using LegalBar.

LegalBar improves existing infrastructure:

• Reduce Word training costs when blended with LegalBar features and training
• Increase user acceptance and experience of Microsoft Word
• Reduce attorney, paralegal and other staff time in creating and editing documents
• Reduce IT and Support Staff troubleshooting, maintenance and deployment hours
